A hidden fairytale-themed bar exists and it’s not for the faint hearted

Melbourne has gone and done the most Melbourne thing possible by taking the tales of our childhood and turning them into a moody bar where cocktails are served in cauldrons and garnished with edible insects.

If you are a sucker for fairytales and bars that are a little out of the ordinary, this one is definitely for you.

StoryVille, on Melbourne’s Lonsdale Street is a fully functioning bar where late nights turn into early (drunken) mornings and fantasy turns into reality.

The bar’s website ominously warns that this “fairytale is not for the faint of heart” and that once you have entered through the unique doors of the venue “you have fallen down the rabbit hole”.

You can interpret that warning however you please — we just hope you drink responsibly and don’t literally fall down a rabbit’s hole, lord knows there are many in the Melbourne CBD.

Your inner child will revel at the chance sip on cocktails inspired by Harry Potter, Tinkerbell and Cinderella — and while your bank account may not thank you for the excessive drink expenses, your memory of an unforgettable night certainly will.
